This Eurocell Window Sill Cover Capping Board excels at providing a quick and effective facelift for your internal window sills. Its primary function is to neatly cover existing sills, wrapping around the front lip with its distinctive 'Bullnose' profile. This eliminates the need for messy and time-consuming removal of old sills.
In high-humidity environments like bathrooms, shower rooms, or kitchens, the uPVC material's resistance to moisture is a significant advantage, preventing warping, rotting, or degradation often seen with timber sills. This ensures a long-lasting, pristine finish.
For renovation projects, it offers a practical solution to update tired, chipped, or discolored sills, delivering a fresh, clean appearance without significant structural work. Imagine transforming an old wooden sill prone to water damage in a bathroom into a sleek, easy-to-clean uPVC surface. It's also ideal for covering over less aesthetically pleasing existing materials.
When installed correctly with a suitable adhesive, the 9mm thickness provides a robust and stable surface for everyday use.
Preparation: Ensure your existing internal window sill is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or flaking paint. Any major unevenness should be addressed for a smooth application.
Measure and Cut: Carefully measure the length of your window sill. Using a fine-tooth saw, cut the Eurocell capping board to the precise required length. A miter box can assist with accurate angled cuts if needed.
Apply Adhesive: Apply a strong grab adhesive (suitable for uPVC) in a zigzag pattern or parallel beads along the top surface of your existing sill. Also, apply a bead along the back edge of the Eurocell board where it will meet the wall, and along the inside of the 'Bullnose' profile.
Position and Press: Carefully align the cut capping board over your existing sill, ensuring the 'Bullnose' profile wraps snugly around the front lip. Press down firmly along the entire length to ensure good adhesion.
Secure and Seal: Use masking tape to hold the board in place while the adhesive cures if necessary. Once dry, run a bead of silicone sealant along the joint where the capping board meets the window frame and the wall to create a watertight and neat seal.
